I know, i know.
Many of you have already pledged. Others are not interested. And the news of Chris Roberts new project is on the main page.

But still as a fan of Freelancer I needed to make this post.
Perhaps many still haven’t received the news. Star Citizen has now more than $3 million in crowdfunding. But it is a bit far from what Chris would want to have. $4 million would open up a lot more options.
For starters much better mod tools.
I was a very active Freelancer player and if anything it was user created mods what made this game live long past it’s “dated” graphics.
This community still exists because someone had the vision to do some things right. That someone was Chris Roberts

We don’t talk about it but he was responsible for making the first open universe multiplayer space sim. Freelancer to be in fact.
It’s because of him that we have a space sim game where space does not fell empty. It has “terrain” so to speak.
And he has taken notice of what the community was able to achieve. So much so that he wants to have OFFICIAL mod support in Star Citizen. Unlike Freealncer modding is a first citizen in Star Citizen.

He wants to make yet another ambitious space sim.
With everything that made Freelancer popular. Mods, multiplayer, open universe and so on.

Their making a real effort. And if you’ve been following the project you know what I mean. So much so that companies like NVIDIA, Alienware and so on have given them some “toys” for him to offer us.
We get a chance of winning a NVIDIA GTX 680, a top of the line Alienware computer, Oculus Rift if we can convince more people to pledge.

So come on guys. Help this project. It is not called “Freelancer 2”. But it is the spiritual successor of Freelancer.

I’m going to make a new topic. Hopefully someone will read this to.

Once the news broke about Chris new space sim I decided to revisit the good old Lancers Reactor.
My one source of everything Freelancer back in the day.
I haven’t played it in years but I had one hell of a time in that game.

Anyway guys. The more I read and watch interviews with Chris the more excited I am about this new project.

He is trying to do the space sim of our dreams but he really needs money to reach those high goals.

On top of a campaign similar to Wing Commander,
we will have an open universe much like Freelancer, with support for third party servers but also with one main one if people wish to play on the official one.
On top of this Chris wants to use the power of the modding community much like it was used in Freelancer.
The third party servers will be able to go crazy with the modding stuff. And the official one will accept certain mods if they indeed fit into the universe.
Watch the interviews he has given on Youtube and visit the website where he tries to explain everything in detail.

In the “Streght goals” he explains in detail what he wants to do with the extra money.
I think this could be a hit. And the tech he has shown really seams promising.

IF you guys love space sims I see no other greater project to put your money in than this one.
